Rachel McCann Art Project

My artwork is not the best, but it does have meaning. The meaning behind it is you can always overcome any issue. My artwork is me with no face, my face is filled with words and drawings that represent me.  The words that were used were beautiful, peaceful, caring,successful and strong. I chose these words because either these are things I want/hope to be or things I feel as though I am. The background is a brick wall, some of the bricks have words, phrases, and images that people have said to me, trying to bring me down. Some bricks are cracked because I no longer care what people think or say, and others are left blank because I have a whole life ahead of me to live and I will not know what people will say or do till then.

The tools I used for this project are pencils and pastels. I used a pencil to draw my artwork on the piece of paper we were given, and I used pastels because I want catch one's eye.  No one inspired me to do this piece, I just followed my hand. I am most proud of the thought process I did for this project. If I would change one thing in my project it would be adding more drawings that represent me. One thing that I have learned through completing this project is how to use pastels with limited of space.
